Edward Daley, Democrat, was shot and
killed, near the polls of the 9th precinct of
the 18th ward, in Baltimore, on Wednesday
evening, just before the polls closed. Edward
Alters is charged with the offence, but some
people have been expecting Mr.. Cowen to
publish card charging Burke and Kennedy
with it. Alters was one of the Cowen con
tingent in the great Fight for reform (?)

No Republican can be elected in Carroll
,cithoat Democratic rotes. If the Republican
nominees for the Senate and House of Dele
gates are elected, they viii use their positions
to hamper the Democratic state government,
and the State Senator would vote for Re.
publican to succeed that able Democrat, Sen
ator Wilson.

Republicans like to plead the limitation act
upon their rule in Maryland, but when reused
up they forget how conservative they now
mean TO be, and refer with pride to their re-
cord. Hon. L. E. McCcmas, their able lead
err, and most shining light, referred TO the
happy days of Hicks and Davis, in his speech
before the recent Republican state conven-
ton. When Democrats east glance back,
and bring to light the doings of the Republi-
can party of Hicks and Davis, Republicans
are shocked. They are now trying to get
back to power. To do SO they want Demo
cratic votes, and they don't want the voters
to be reminded of their record. BE careful,
Democrats, and don't promise to vote for any
Republican. The party is the same to-day as
it was from 1859, when they stole the govern
ship, up to 1867, when driven from power.

We have read with pleasure and profit
pamphlet entitled "Abuse Gifts" sermon
delivered by Rev. j. 7. Murray, D. D.. at the
Methodist Protestant Church. in Westminster,
Sept IL, 1887, being the first Sabbath after
the opening of Western Maryland College and
Theological Seminary for the year 1878.
The pamphlet was published at the request of
Dr. Ward for the benefit of young people, and
the proceeds will be devoted to the assistance
of young men preparing for the ministry in
these institutions. The sermon is calculated
to inspire young men with laudable ambi-
ton to rise in their respective stations in life
by the exercise of wisdom, which is declared
to be ''the right use of knowledge" "Call
the roll of honor" says the. preacher, ''and
all the names illustrious in government, liter
AZURE, science and art, and in the church, are
almost all of men who have risen by selfhelp
to their great eminence-in ancient and mod
ern times-in this country and elsewhere"
Numerous instances are given illustrate the
truth ofthis asseveration, truth which all his
tory confirms.

Democrats, make no promises to vote for
Republicans. This is not a time for compli-
mentagy roting, or to vote for political oppo-
nents as personal favor. The election this
fall has national bearing, and the party
should show its strengthjust as though itwere
a presidential election. There is victory in
the air. The Republican party must go.
A defeat this year, and then again in 1888,
will eod its career forever.

The Democracy Of Carroll is becoming
alive to the Importance of the election. Five
meetings are announced to be held next week.
The candidates are on their rounds, party
men are actively at work in every district.
Every Democratic voter should be ut the
polls on election day. A full vote means a
a great triumph. Every candidate on our
ticket should be given four hundred ma
jority. We can and should give that much.
The party elsewhere is counting upon Carroll
for 400 to oyerbalance the vote in counties
where there are heavy colored vote.

Because the Democrats have majority in
Carroll is no reason why even one Democratic

The Republicans eagerly awaited the re-
turns from Baltimore on Wednesday night.
There was a large gathering at Bowers Hall,
but the news scattered them. Quite NUM-
Der of candidates were here also, but they got
out of town early the next morning. La

Swearing the Negroes.
From the Eastoa Star, Talbot counfy.

Republicans are going the rounds of this
county, swearing the colored people to vote
the Republican ticket. The colored people
are being sworn to vote the Republican ticket
because they are ignorant, and know no bet.
ter than to believe the oaths so taken are
binding. The fellows who have been going
about imposing on the colored people in this
way ought to be arrested and tried, convicted
and sent to the house Of correction. They
are amenable under the law published by Mr..
Springs reform league. 1t is an attempt by
fraud to prevent voters from voting as they
may please on election day.

Henry Berhayon committed suicide in San
francisco on Sunday. He was brother-in
law of DIR. ]. NJ. Powers, who is under SEN
tence of death for poisoning his wife, two
years ago. 1t is said Berhayon left letter
addressed to the Coroner, in which he con-
fessed that he gave the poison to his sister to
obtain the insurance on her life and exoner-
ated Powers from any connection with the
crime. The police are working on the case.
The evidence against Powers was circum-
stantial, and Berhayon was one ofthe principal
witnesses for the prosecution.

The Dying Umpire.

An umpire of the Northwestern
league lay dying. 1t appears there
was a lack of tender usage, there was
dearth of friendly cheers, and II play
er stood beside him us his life's sands
ebbed away, and bent with rapt at
fention to hear what he might say.
The 'croaking" umpire faltered as he
took the players paw, and he said !:
ssOld boy Pm going and you'll miss my
tuneful Jaw. Say too Il your brother
players who were once dear p friends
Of mine. If they cheek the man who
runs the game, expect they must Il
fine.' Tell the pitcher of your base
ball club Il think his name
is Nike that he can't expect each
ball that's pitched to be declared a
strike and he mustn't scowl and show
his wrath or make display of gall
when the hired man behind the plate
shouts forcibly, 'One ball = And just
whisper to your brother not to pause
when the ball is caught; such breaks
as that will change a mans decision
not jot. Besides, he said (his glossy
eyes were wet with tears OF brine),
ssthey cannot grumble if they get
reasonable fine. Tell your 'coacher,'
who at first or third is wont to take
his place, not to open up mis- fusilade
until mans on base; and further
more, ii captain, would warn him to
desist, for he makes the people tired,
and. lie never would be missed Tell
the fellows that an umpire's only hui
man, after all, and they can't
expect him not to err sometimes in
games of ball, and the only way
we have to keep recalcitrants in line is
to seek it to 'em gently with 'tenner'
for a fine. Say to all the members OF
YOUR club, whene'er disputes arise,
that it hurts ones feelings to be told
direct he lies; and, also, to the fel-
lows three who occupy the field, to
hold their ground, because. be sure,
the umpire will not yield. This wordy
warfare only serves to cause delays in
the game. You may hound the UNI
pire most to death, but he'd get there
lust the same,' and he'll make cold
shiyers 'chassez' up ard down each
kicker's spine by passing round among
you all souvenir in fine. Tell the
mouthy men, who make remarks
while seated in the stand, that
their wittieisms are chestnuts, and
no time in demand; that UNI
pires cannot always rule in favor
Of their team, however strange or
startling this assertion may seem,
and cries of Rats and put 'em out,
and Umpire, how is that? disgust all
lovers of the game-are silly, stale
and fiat Such people should in dun
geons be, and there be made repine,
for an umpire cannot reach them
with his customary fine. Pm going
now, old fellow; think I've told you
all the things that umpires must de-
test while refereeing ball. I've done
my best to satisfy the patrons Of the
game, and ii l erred n judgment sure
my heart was not to blame. I've
only this request to make when am
laid away, that you'll think of what l
told you in the games you'll often
play. Soon I'll quit this sphere Of
